Yeah Dawn of War 2 was a complete and utter blast, I loved that game. I might try Company heros too. I will be a general one of these daysDaezd said:
The RTS genre is going strong. While some games Iw as looking forward to, like Dawn of War 2 and Empire Total War were epic failures, the awesome thing about RTS games is the fact that most RTS games don't get old and you can always mod them. Company of Heroes is a game I still play every day as that game actually requires tactics rather than just micro and games like Medieval 2 are still awesome with mods like Third:Age Total War. Hopefully, Napolean:Total War and Starcraft 2 will be good games.
If you thought Dawn of War 2 was fun, then Company of Heroes will give you orgasms. It's essentially Dawn of War 2, but better. Dawn of War 2 was ruined for me due to the fact that it was essentially a very simplified Company of Heroes without awesome quotes from British soldiers.The Rockerfly said:
The RTS genre is doing fine, I love playing older games such as cossacks and rise of nations.
Cossacks is a brilliant game, you should all buy it now, because someone on the internet told you to!

Holy shit, if you are telling the truth then I think I may start having sex with this gameEmphraim said:
How is it different though from Dawn?
I just found out I kind of like RTSs.
However, I like sitting at my base and slowly making a huge army with no particular strategy, so people who are RTS veterans with strategies usually rush me with some uncounterable tactic.
I'm sure I'll get better eventually though.

1. Company of Heroes is a bit slower paced than DOW2 and requires more tactics.The Rockerfly said:
2. One of the most visible differences is the importance of buildings and urban combat. You don't know how awesome it is to make a hole in a roof with a mortar, then have an artillery shell crash into the hole you made, knocking out all the machine gun teams in the building.
3. Vehicle combat plays a much bigger role in the game. When I played the Multiplayer beta for DOW2, vehicles were mostly a late game affair. In Company of Heroes, if you play correctly, you can get a m10 as Americans within 10 minutes and unlike DOW2, vehicles aren't high HP damage sinks. Like in real life, a tank in Company of Heroes is extremely powerful , but a few shots from an AT gun and it goes boom.
4. This is a personal bias most likely, but the vehicles in DOW2 seemed to feel worseThey didn't control as smoothly or have the same attention to detail as the COH vehicles.
5. The biggest thing for me is game balance. DOW2 is a major screwup in game balance. Even now, the Tyranids have a large advantage over any other faction. Company of Heroes, even though the competitive players on gamereplays.org whine that it has been ruined due to the addition of the British and Panzer Elite into the game, is still one of the best balanced RTS games out there, right below Starcraft and Warcraft.
6. The game is still one of the best looking RTS games out there.
But really, I can't do the game justice. I suggest watching some game clips and reading reviews.
Sounds a blast, I will pick up a copy off of Amazon or maybe off of SteamEmphraim said:

I love RTS games. Rome total war sold me on the genre but my favourite is ENDWAR.
Actually, both of these are turn-based-strategy rather than real-time-strategy, but there so similar i sometimes class them as one.

Though I generally like RTS, I prefer TBS, because it lets you maximize your strategic potential.
I'm a ludicrously huge fan of them, first game I played was Ages 1.
But I think they're starting to get a bit shafted just because tastes are changing. It's kind of become like chess in that it's slower and complex in different ways than the slightly more instantly gratifying rpg's or fps's. Too bad, really.
